Harmonia against Dogmatism in Philosophy

This is a collection which promotes un-dogmatic thinking and the idea of the unity in nature and philosophy. It contains Knols which explain and underline the need to be unbiased and not favourable to one opinion only, when many different opinions exist…

Scope

The idea of the unity of nature was first postulated by the pre-Socratic thinkers. Parmenides and Heracletus argued that the reality is “ONE” and that is what all people perceive with their different minds and senses. Knols in this collection show that we should be extra carefull when we think we “know” the correct answer, because most of the times there is no “one” correct answer…

Harmonia against Dogmatism

Dogmatism of any kind is a bad thing. In the old days of Aristotle and Plato, people believed in the power of the priests running the Delphi Oracle site. Today people believe in the power of the new “priests” of materialism in science. Fortunately there are also many voices against dogmatism who act as a beacon of truth: we do not have to believe in only one thing dogmatically. Everything must be questioned! Materialism, idealism, monism, dualism etc are all part of the great philosophical systems mankind has invented, but not one of them holds the keys to the ultimate truth (if such thing even exists)…
The Knols (articles) in this collection try to show that only if we think freely (that is, as freely as someone who is grown in a specific environment and era can think) can we get closer to the unity of the truth…

Spiros Kakos is a thinker located in Greece. He has been Chief Editor of Harmonia Philosophica since its inception. In the past he has worked as a senior technical advisor for many years. In his free time he develops software solutions and contributes to the open source community. He has also worked as a phD researcher in the Advanced Materials sector related to the PCB industry. He likes reading and writting, not only philosophy but also in general. He believes that science and religion are two sides of the same coin and is profoundly interested in Religion and Science philosophy. His philosophical work is mainly concentrated on an effort to free thinking of "logic" and reconcile all philosophical opinions under the umbrella of the "One" that Parmenides - one of the first thinkers - visualized. The "Harmonia Philosophica" articles program is the tool that will accomplish that. Life's purpose is to be defeated by greater things. And the most important things in life are illogical. We must fight the dogmatic belief in "logic" if we are to stay humans... Credo quia absurdum!
